Sunbeam Bread Machine 5891 Review

Sunbeam Bread Machine 5891 makes good homestyle white bread and really good sandwich bread.  The biggest problem with it is the awkward size of the loaf of bread.  It makes a square loaf of bread with the slices about 6": by 6".  I have heard that some people let the machine do the mixing, kneading, and rising or the dough, then you can take out the dough and put it into a regular sized loaf pan.

I would recommend white homestyle basic or sandwich of all the selections that the breadmaker has available.

The wheat bread comes out pretty tough, mostly because the crust is really tough even if you order a light crust (it has an adjustment that you can order light, medium, or dark crust).  The French bread has a tough crust too, but if you don't mind throwing away all  the tough crusts, the inside tastes good. 

I mostly stay with the Basic and the Sandwich versions, although there are 11 selections in all.  I haven't tried the cake making selection or the jams yet.  I am very happy with the Sunbeam Breadmaker so far and look forward to its long life.
